JamieStevenson Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Gimmick PPV time for the RAW brand. Elimination Chamber will take place on Sunday February 25th 2017 at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada (Las Vegas). This will follow the 1 hour Kickoff Show (Midnight) and 3 hour main card (1AM) format. It will be the eighth installment of this PPV. The Elimination Chamber match is a six participant match wherein two participants begin the match in the ring as the remaining four are held within each inner enclosure (pod) and are released into the match at five-minute intervals. The objective is to eliminate each opponent from the match via pinfall or submission. The winner is the last remaining participant after all others have been eliminated. For the first time ever we will also have the women's chamber match!!! This event will give us the perfect indication of how WrestleMania 34 will shape up, it should be a good one. Ronda Rousey will be signing her Raw contract. Confirmed Matches: Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson vs The Miztourage (Kickoff Match) "Woken" Matt Hardy vs Bray Wyatt. Cesaro and Sheamus (C) vs Titus O'Neil & Apollo for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship. Asuka vs Nia Jax. If Nia wins she will be in the WWE Raw Women's Championship Match at WrestleMania 34. Alexa Bliss (C) vs Bayley vs Mandy Rose vs Mickie James vs Sonya Deville vs Sasha Banks in an Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Raw Women's Championship. Braun Strowman vs Elias vs John Cena vs Roman Reigns vs The Miz vs Finn Balor vs Seth Rollins in an Elimination Chamber match for a WWE Universal Championship match at WrestleMania 34.

Ira Gaines Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Only the ECW chamber has been a shitfest so I'm looking forward to seeing this show for those two matches alone. At the very least they tend to be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I mean we’re already going to have Elias singing in a pod and Braun probably overturning the entire chamber so it’s already shaping up to be some PPV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 The new and improved chamber they used last year led to a very good match if I remember right, even though there was a bit of criticism at the time for them making it more "safe". Only problem is that I imagine both matches are going to be achingly predictable. It's well known that their plan is Reigns vs Lesnar, so unless they massively change it (and I'm not sure who they would change it to) then Reigns is jobbing out everyone. Women's one is a little harder to predict, but I expect once we reach the event it'll be a bit more obvious. Assume Asuka is a lock for the main event, so she'll await the winner. Presumably Bliss, Jax, Banks and Bayley will be involved, then maybe Paige's burds filling out the final 2. Or Rousey maybe? Bliss vs Asuka doesn't really pop for me, given the only way they can sensibly go is for Asuka to win. The only one that really excites would be if they put Rousey in the Chamber and she did what she should have done at the Rumble and runs a train on everyone, shows a proper nasty side. Then you can have the 40 week build up to WM building up Asuka vs Rousey, where the former humbles her ahead of a quick face-turn or something. They're not going to do that, because Steph has to get her shit in first, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd quite like to see Braun drop the Chamber on Elias's guitar Elias tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 Elias will be last to enter the match on the night. Look forward to the gig from his pod and then smashing Reigns with the guitar when he gets out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Although it would probably see the match descend into farce, they should absolutely mic Elias up and let him commentate on every moment of the match via song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Will be class if Braun smashes the pod to get at Elias. “I’m not allowed to pin you yet!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 7 man Elimination Chamber will be fun. More people for Braun to throw around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Titus Worldwide appear to have issued a challenge to Cesaro and Sheamus. Match is not official but I included it in the Prediction League anyway as I'm assuming it'll be accepted as the card is a little light as it stands.

JamieStevenson Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Tag title match is official. We also have a Kickoff Match. Not going to bother doing a write up for this PPV. Think I'll get one up for Fastlane though as there are at least some storylines on SmackDown whereas there aren't any on RAW. I won't be watching this live and don't particularly care for spoilers as I feel like I know who's going to win the matches. Will need to set up a WM34 thread as well.

Mark Connolly Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Caught a bit of one of the specials earlier, and they were building up to EC. Couldn't believe it when they said it had been 16 years since Shawn won the first one in his shite brown tights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
